EDIT: If it helps, installing libidn.so.11 fixed a problem with version 1.22, so I do have that one now.

It looks like a GLIB problem. If the older puppies use a version of GLIB that is older than the version that Transmission was compiled with then this sort of thing happens.

I could post a copy of the updated GLIB I use, but this might break other things on peoples systems. It shouldn't, but it might. Updating GLIB often requires updating GTK and PANGO as well. This wasn't an issue for me, but it does mean that any further compiles that are attempted on an GLIB updated machine may not work on a clean install/Live CD._________________ASUS A1000, 800Mhz PIII Coppermine!, 192Mb RAM, 10Gb IBM Travelstar HDD, Build date August 2001.

And that's not all - Transmission is now extra bloated if you're using Puppy 4.21 or older:
Now it requires an additional dependency (libgio-2.0.so.0) that's almost the same size as the Transmission binary

Michalis,did you compile this build in Puppy 4.3 or later?
If that's the case, could you do another compile of Transmission 1.76 in Puppy 4.2 (to produce a package with less dependencies that's compatible with the older Puppies as well)?

Do you still keep an archive of your old Transmission packages? I need the last working builds (v1.72, v1.74 and v1.75).

1.82 doesn't work for me...I'm on puppies 4.31, it continuosly starts downloading for some 10-15 seconds, then stops, as if it loses connection, then starts again...I've tried 1.83 on ubuntu (lucid) it works fine...btw I've switched back to 1.76, it works fine
